Last Wednesday, June 26, was an exciting day, and a tremendous victory for the LGBT community. With DOMA repealed, it is time to take further steps toward full marriage equality. It is time to retire the term "Gay Marriage." This term, often used pejoratively by social conservatives, implies a separate but not-quite-equal status for same-sex couples.

There is marriage...and then there's "gay" marriage. Why must any loving union between committed partners come with this qualifier, which sets it apart from the assumed default? Is this really the idea that the Daily Camera wishes to convey? Is this really the term that your writers should be using?

I suspect that the phrase "Gay Marriage" will be all but phased out, in the next few years. I would love to see the writers of the Daily Camera participate actively, in phasing it out. Let's stop talking about "Gay Marriage," while we keep conversations going about marriage equality and civil rights.
